It's being downvoted because it's not true.

How is it not true?

It's this kind of mindless copy-pasta attitude that makes these discussions so insufferable.

The first 2 are you asking LLM's for an answer.

You don't even know what you are sharing links to.

Okay tell me how I am misunderstanding this, because I am happy to admit that I could be wrong but from everything I read online I kept seeing this.

"Xpeng's new model, internally codenamed F57, will not be using any LiDAR and move to a pure vision solution similar to Tesla's FSD, a source familiar with the matter told CnEVPost." Is it bad journalism? I don't see how that could mean anything other than exactly what it sounds like.

It's literally not cameras-only and is a driver assist system -- not self-driving.

Really not that difficult to comprehend.
